On November 03, 2025, Ashraf Jehad Abuejheisheh published a new study in “Digital Health” titled “A national survey on navigating new era in healthcare services in hospitals through artificial intelligence: Awareness and attitudinal trends among nurses”. This study offers valuable bassline data about artificial intelligence awareness and attitudes among nurses in Palestine. The findings showed that slightly more than half of the participants had adopted some form of AI technology (55.5%), with ChatGPT being the most widely used. Despite over half using AI tools, a majority reported limited awareness, underscoring a knowledge gap. Most nurses viewed AI positively, though a substantial portion remained skeptical, reflecting both openness to and hesitation toward its adoption in the profession. The recently published national survey examines how hospital-based nurses perceive the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare services. The article reports that while a growing number of nurses recognize the potential for AI to enhance efficiency, patient safety and workflow in hospitals, significant gaps remain in awareness, confidence and readiness to adopt AI tools. The study highlights that although nurses see opportunities in administrative automation, decision-support tools and predictive analytics, they emphasize the need for robust training, transparent governance frameworks and active involvement of frontline professionals in AI deployment. Overall, the survey underscores that in this new era of AI-enabled healthcare services, hospitals must address not only technical implementation but also cultural, educational and ethical dimensions to align AI adoption with the values and practice of Nursing.
